One of them was Son Of Sam Horn.

Even if there is nothing objectionable, you need to muster enough fake anger to write a column just for me. I save my Simmons anger for when I am the angriest, like when my mom refuses to bring me my breakfast in the attic. <BR/><BR/>I am excited though that you posted this commentary. I have always thought it was stupid how Simmons says GM's have no balls for not going along with his trades. I sadly (awesomely?) emailed Simmons one time and told him he should quit writing for ESPN and start his own independent column/magazine with his friends. I told him he would make more money doing this and if he did not do it then he had no balls. <BR/><BR/>He never responded and I am not sure he got the principle that you can't think of an idea that you think is good, tell someone else to apply that idea to their life and then call them a coward when they don't do it. "Anonymous" is correct when he says it is a lot harder to make a trade when you don't control both sides of the trade machine. Simmon's arrogance is not stunning to me anymore, it is a character trait that I love to mock endlessly.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-42047123541806067432008-04-30T00:04:00.000-07:002008-04-30T00:04:00.000-07:00btw simmons has pulled even with mariotti on the p...btw simmons has pulled even with mariotti on the post count....jay needs to get stupid again, fast.Derpsaucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08881690667013390019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-17792747069415481362008-04-30T00:02:00.000-07:002008-04-30T00:02:00.000-07:00The whole No Balls Association thing has bothered ...The whole No Balls Association thing has bothered me since day one. He proposed ridiculous trade ideas then lambasted GMs for not going along with them. Sort of an unbelievable concept when you think about it. The Heat didn't go through with my Haslem for Dalembert trade idea? What a bunch of spineless balls-lackers! I still generally enjoy reading Simmons, but his arrogance is stunning. How a guy can claim that there are only a handful of smart GMs in the league (including Kerr on that list) and then propose that the Raptors should trade for Jamal Crawford is beyond me. Stupid trade proposals are fun, but you can't take them seriously. And you certainly can't consider them as evidence for the argument that GMs do a bad job. I wish the Bucks had hired him so that he could learn that its harder when you don't control both sides of the trade machine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
